4Ground North-West European Farm Complex

I often skim through the offerings on eBay but a true bargain is sadly a rarity. That's not to say there aren't some wonderful things to find on this auction site, but it's rare when you feel like you've really bagged a proper bargain. Last week must have just been my lucky day because I came across a listing selling an unopened 4ground North-West European Farm Complex. 

This set includes 5 buildings, a lean-to outbuilding and a set of walls to enclose the farmyard. I was lucky enough to get this for just a little over half price, all I needed to add was the time to building the kits inside. As it was I made very short work of the buildings getting the whole lot assembled over two evenings. Of course, these can all be used individually or rearranged in any order so they will prove a very versatile collection of buildings. They have already proved their value in a solo Chain of Command game that I have recently played. A full BatRep with photo's featuring the Farm will be posted soon!

    1. And the money I saved can be spent on more buildings... not sure my wife would approve of my money saving tactics but...

    1. Once you've done one they become increasingly easy to build, and the instructions are very clear which also helps.

    1. It's already seen action...although the write up for that game may take a while to put together (5 pages of scribbled notes to decipher!)

  5. Great looking kits, and very versatile as you mention. Did you touch up the paint at all?

    1. Apart from a bit where I damaged a corner I didn't feel they needed it.

    2. Even better then! Pre-paints that one can live with are a bit more rare than they should be.

    1. I have since bought a Stables building which compliments the set nicely.
